Michigan Vamp

My Old License Plate

Eccentric Night Owl

Quote from Blood Read

"An ambiguously coded figure, a source of both erotic anxiety and corrupt desire, the literary vampire is one of the most powerful archetypes bequeathed to us from the imagination of the nineteenth century."~ page 2 introduction to Blood Read: The Vampire as Metaphor in Contemporary Culture

Intellectual Vampire Quote

"If the vampire is an other, he or she was always a figure in whom one could find one's self...the despicable as well as the defiant, the shameful as well as the unashamed, the loathing of oddness as well as pride in it."~ Richard Dyer

As an avid reader of fantasy
novels „Creatures of Fire“ is my first attempt at writing a fantasy novel
myself. Reading fantasy lets me escape into different worlds, explore foreign
characters and talents that are not common in our world, which is why I love this
genre so much.

Ever since the idea formed in my
head, I wanted to create a world of my own, so I began researching mysterious
beings from fairy tales and myths. It didn’t take me long to discover fire
demons and to be fascinated by them.

According to myth, fire demons
come into our world to avenge murder. Focussed on their mission they are
impartial, with a deep seated sense of honor and duty. While researching these
creatures, Alexander, one of the main characters of “Creatures of Fire”, entered my thoughts. He
began to tell his story: How he came into this world with the sole purpose of
avenging murders. How he began to discover his love of ancient artifacts and
art. How he led a life withdrawn from humans but also in the midst of their
presence. Not much later Sariel joined him, telling how her parents were killed
in an accident, how loneliness and sadness engulfed her ever since the tragedy.

But then she met
Alexander.

What set out as a love interest
developed into something different. Something far more dangerous and
mysterious. Fate threw them into situations where they were forced to fight for
their believes.

As happens so often, Alexander
and Sariel told the story, not me. While writing the book I didn’t know what
would happen next and how they would overcome the obstacles that were in their
paths. And then they led me into the ancient, fascinating world of the demons –
Dschinnanya. A place where nothing stays the same, where changes are the only
constant and where no one can be trusted.

Writing this story was an
adventure in itself and an experience I wouldn’t want to miss. Currently I am
working on part 2 of the series, which promises to lead me and the reader
further into the world of the demons and will feature more of the characters
readers have come to love.

Together they are hunted by the one person she thought she could trust.

Separate they may be able to save each others lives.

“Creatures of Fire” a tale about power, ambition, responsibility and trust.
